It s hard to deal with! Durant s contract renewal is a foregone conclusion, but Ethan is in a deadlock, and the Rockets have only 22 days left

Van Jordan was reimbursed for a torn cruciate ligament season, but the Rockets' offseason mission is still not over. After all, without Van Jordan, it only lowered the Rockets' lower limit, but the Rockets' upper limit is still quite high, after all, there is Durant. Moreover, if Shepard can stand up and realize his talent, coupled with the growth of Shin Kyung and Amen, the Rockets will have a group of forwards and high-quality inside depth, and will still have the level of championship competition in overall combat power. The problem is still on renewal, leaving Durant and Ethan behind.

This is a problem that Stone has been solving after the Rockets renewed their contract with Van Jordan and Smith Jordan, and the injury of Van Jordan was unexpected. But the established plan will not change, and Stone will maintain the stability of the Rockets' lineup in the next three years. Famous reporter Jake Fischer reported that the good news for the Rockets is that Durant's contract renewal is almost a foregone conclusion. He is about to sign a two-year contract renewal with the Rockets, with a maximum amount of 122 million yuan. Add to that with Durant’s own one-year contract, he will play in the Rockets until he is 40 years old.

Ethan is the most troublesome thing at the moment, and his negotiations with the Rockets are still not going well. The Rockets are also very determined, and they even prioritized Ethan's contract renewal before Durant. But the current pressure facing the team may choose to deal with Durant first. It is probably because the money was not given enough. The Rockets gave Smith 122 million in five years, which seems to be unable to satisfy Ethan's appetite. After all, the league's forward line is the most valuable now, and this is not something that the defender can compare to.

76ers, the Nets' train, including Gidey's new contract, the defender's value plummeted in the market. The forward line is still rising, and Kumingga's low price has always been a starting salary of 25 million yuan. In addition, other forwards in the league have also given Ethan the qualification to pay high prices. For example, Anunobi has 200 million yuan in 5 years and has an annual salary of 40 million yuan, which is no worse than him. Ethan has always believed that he has the ability to become a star, just like he was dissatisfied with not entering the top 100 players in the league in the new season.

It can be said that Ethan is a difficult bone to crack, and there is not much time left for the Rockets. Jake Fischer said the deadline for the two parties to renew their contracts early is October 20. If the Rockets cannot renew Ethan's contract, he will become a restricted libero next year's offseason. It's quite difficult for the Rockets, unless you trade him in advance. Because Ethan still has many teams who want it and may quote a high price. At that time, it will be a dilemma whether the Rockets match or not. If the price is too high, they will be in short supply.

, including the Knicks and other teams, but they are coveted by Ethan, and the Clippers are also ready to go, wanting to tap some potential stars. Ethan's talent is exactly the same as Leonard. Ethan is 2.03 meters tall and has an arm span of 2.17 meters. Leonard is 2.01 meters tall and has an arm span of 2.20 meters. Ethan's palm reaches 23.5 cm, one centimeter shorter than Leonard's 24.8 cm. Ethan had 17th pick in the first round and Leonard had 15th pick. Last season, Ethan averaged 24 minutes per game, contributing 12 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.7 breaks, shooting percentage of 48.7% and three-point shooting percentage of 35%.

Ethan has been practicing back-to-body singles to catch a back-down jump shot in the past few seasons. He not only wants to be 3D, but also wants to be the core of singles with the ball. Not to mention anything else, just rebounding alone, Ethan did achieve what Leonard said that rebounding madman has money to make. But Ethan also has a fatal flaw, which is that his body is too brittle. This is simply connected to the same fate. Last season, the Rockets didn't dare to let Ethan play back-to-back, so they took great care of him. It depends on whether Ethan will give in to the Rockets. If he doesn't give in, he will understand. After all, he has the chance to play the starting lineup and raise the ceiling when leaving the Rockets, just like why Kuminga wants to go to the Kings? They promised to start the show.
